Art-21

In four sections - on identity, place, consumption and spirituality - the authors of this book introduce the concepts and vocabulary of contemporary art, and explore issues such as how artists address sexual or racial identity in their work, and how creativity is affected by changing notions of place in today's era of transnationalism and cyberspace. The book introduces approximtely 20 contemporary American artists working in a variety of media, including painting, photography, sculpture, installation. Some of the artists featured are: James Turrell, Ann Hamilton, Laurie Anderson, Sally Mann, Richard Serra, Matthew Barney, Maya Lin, Michael Ray Charles, Mel Chin, Barbara Kruger, Louise Bourgeois and Bruce Nauman.
